Are Nausea And Vomiting Related To Prostate Cancer?
My husband was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. We have an appointment scheduled to discuss treatment options. The past two days, he has been very sick with nausea and vomiting. Is that related? I'm concerned and wonder if I should take him to the emergency room. He's pretty sick.
